An allergic person’s confession

Well, I suffer from all sorts of weird allergies and things like that or seem to, so I’ve been the round of the alternative medicines a bit because, sort of conventional medicine really doesn’t help a lot in those areas it seems. And sometimes I’ve had encouraging results, sometimes less so.

I’ve done quite a lot of acupuncture, which I quite enjoy, partly because I like the lady who gives it to me, I think it’s nice to have your hand held for an hour but I must admit it does hurt a bit when the needles go in… And although she thinks I’ve made great progress, I’m not quite sure… if I’ve experienced it myself. So I don’t go to that so often now. I’ve had homeopathy at various stages and recently I’ve been seeing an Ayurvedic doctor who is the traditional Indian form of medicine. And he combines homeopathy with physical exercises, with diet, etc. And he’s good for a laugh. There’re all sorts of spiritual input as well…

And on the more physical side, two things I’ve done which I have found useful. One is the Alexander technique, which is about posture and well, a bit more than posture really, but how you stand and how you do things and… inhibiting your automatic responses and bad habits. And the other is a form of very heavy massage, called Rolfing, which is very painful at times but actually I did find very satisfying, very useful.

Macrobiotics as it is

I’ve had some contact with alternative medicine, mainly the…macrobiotics. I did a brown rice diet about twelve or fifteen years ago, something like that. I had stomach ulcer problems and immediately went on the strictest regime which was ten days eating nothing but brown rice. Which I did, and it did actually sort my stomach out quickly. I kept up with it for about a year because you slowly begin to add other ingredients to the diet and I found it, I must say I did feel really good but I’ve just sort of lapsed out of it and drifted away from it. I’ve also had acupuncture which I had partly because I had a skin problem as well but also to try and give up smoking. And that was terrific … And I had the acupuncture, and then I read a book as well about giving up smoking and I stopped smoking, that was four years ago now ... so that worked.
